Hi RM_1 ,

 

There's a workaround. You can do this by creating a bar chart and a text box.

 

 

You can check more details from here.

    Hi Stephen, thanks. I know, I did it like this but there are some issues with this approach, when having not so much space for this visual on the page:

    1. you need to set white background of those text boxes and cover x-axis, otherwise you will not see vertical lines indicating progress,

    2. white text box background when limited space on the page causes some parts of white boxes outside of chart area, otherwise you will see scroll on each text box,

    3. using other screen resolution may cause a little bit of mess in there,

    4. max letters height in text box = 8, while I have 6 on the y-axis, not look so good even using "card" visualization

    This is why I'm looking for solution, not workaround. 🙂
